Summary: Kind-Hearted Giant Goes from Spiffy to Skivvy
Comment: Scottish writer Julia Donaldson's charming enchanted tale in an enchanted, magical land where George the giant lives over a small world of people, elves and animals where they all coexist peacefully. One day, George tired of his scruffy look decides on a giant makeover. So he goes to the clothes shop (Haberdashery) run by the small people. Soon he's traded his monk robe and worn-out sandals for the spiffiest shirt, pants, shiny black shoes and the works. But, you know what his new look don't last long. He runs into the small town's creatures who need help. Like the giraffe whose afraid his neck will caught cold, the goat who need a sail for his boat and the family of mice whose house burnt down. He gives the giraffe his tie, the goat his shirt and one of his shoes to the mice for a house. Before you know it George is left standing outside the shop in his skivvies! When the shop is closed, the only thing George can do is put back on his dirty old clothes again. In the end, George is thanked by all those he had helped. The lesson to be learned that it's more important to be kind and generous toward others than to be cool and spiffy :). This is a delightful tale for people of all ages to keep in mind the moral to the story. Don't we need more like George the gentle giant in the world?

Summary: How you look or how you act?
Comment: This is a great story of George the Giant who is tired of being the messiest giant in town. He decides to spruce himself up with some great new clothes. But on his way home, he meets all kinds of animals who need help. Through his acts of kindness, George becomes less and less spiffy. This a story that introduces the concept of putting others' needs before your own in a cute humorous way. The illustrations are as clever as they are expressive. My four and two year old request this story almost daily.
